Fact one: the DM 5000 is one of the home laser hair removal systems manufactured by Biotechnique Avance. Biotechnique Avance is a leading manufacturer of dermatologist treatment clinics and Med Spa equipment for aesthetics. This company has dozens of laser machines and systems for professional use, the DM 5000 is a small unit intended for home use treatments or small beauty centers.
Fact Two: The DM 5000 is one in a long line of innovative laser hair removal systems. There was DM 2000, DM 4000 and also DM 6000. The system has a very strong and powerful power source, which can produce a high power diode laser beam. The DM5000 laser hair removal system has 54 Joules per cm2/second! Just for comparison, the TRIA laser system is 24 J/cm2.
Fact Three: The DM5000 laser, like the rest of the DM laser series, is AC/DC electrically powered (and not battery operated), which means it can be used without “low power” or “low battery” beeps. The laser session can be continuous until it is finished. For comparison, the TRIA laser system needs to be recharged after 250 pulses, the Silk’n SensEpil lamp only works with 750 pulses.
The DM5000 has no battery life or cartridge limit as it can be used longer than other systems.
Fact Four: The DM5000 has a high repetition rate, it can produce 7 pulses of light per second! This is important for a smooth and faster waxing session. For compression, the TRIA laser has only one pulse every 2.2 seconds! When it comes to large areas of skin to be treated such as the back or legs; the TRIA session is very slow (and frustrating) compared to the DM 5000.
Fact Five: Most home laser and IPL systems are not allowed for facial use (because they are FDA approved). The DM5000 laser can be used for facial use (manufacturers claim). The reason the DM 5000 is said to be safe for facials is because it has a very fine laser tip.
The fine tip can be used for precise treatments. You should be careful when treating near the eyes, such as hair removal treatments for the eyebrows, cheeks, sideburns, and upper lip.
Facials are best done by someone else; Facials can be dangerous. The DM5000 is dated in design, not designed to show off, and looks more like a clinic device than a home system. For some, the professional design provides added confidence when looking for a reliable laser system for personal home use.
